1. A city in the northern part of Oregon, One of the only cool places in Oregon (unless you love nature) and one of the few cool places in the Northwest. It's a small city that has a good atmosphere and nice people. It ain't no mother fucking New York City but it still rules.
2. Portland, Maine

1. The City of Roses, PDX, Bridgetown, USA
2. Not as good as Portland, Oregon.

Largest city in Oregon and the only fun place in Oregon as well, except mt hood and bend. We are all members of blazermania, but hate the team when they suck. Brandon Roy is basically god to portlanders. We hate seattle and everything to do with it. Blacks have north portland, white trash has gresham, rich whites have the west hills and lake oswego, middle class whites have Beaverton, asians have bethany amd rock creek, and the mexicans have hillsboro, it's pretty simple. We don't have sales tax and we'll do just about anything to keep it that way, even if it means taking money from the schools. We all love nature and the outdoors, most portlanders go to the beach or the mountain on weekends. 23rd is our 5th avenue. We also have burgerville, probably the best fast food restaurant ever. Portlanders are extremely proud of the city, it's pretty much the best place to live.

Key terms if your a tourist:
Freddies= Fred Meyer, we buy pretty much everythig from there

Civil war= football game that's basically bigger than the superbowl. U of O vs OSU
MAX= lightrail train, NEVER ride it in Gresham, you will be raped

Terrwilleger curves= at 6 in the morning and 6 at night, pretty much hell on earth

Hillsburrito= How portland solved illegal aliens, we gave the mexicans their own city to fuck around in.

Democrat= we all are, don't bother asking

Sunriver, cannon beach, and bend= our heavens on earth
1977= the year the blazers won the NBA championship, everyone knows this
PDX= airport

Requirements in portland:
At least one article of clothing must be Nike. Adidas is not ok, reebok is non existant
Support the local breweries and coffeeshops. Although there are 40 starbucks within a mile where ever you are
Never carry an umbrella, true portlanders love the rain
Never go into voodoo doughnuts and complain about having bacon on your doughnut, that's just the way it is
If you go to the rose gardens, you are automatically labeled a tourist
Drive fast, only asians are allowed to go 55 on the highway, otherwise 70-80 is the real speed limit
NEVER HAVE AN U OF O AND OSU BUMPER STICKER ON THE SAME CAR!!!! Your car will be burned and thrown in the river

Know how to pronounce willamette and couch correctly, if mispronunced you will be thrown into the river

The nicest city In the United States. Lots to do for active Liberal minded outdoor folk. Laid back atomosphere. Much better than Vancouver BC or Seattle. Those two cities are rude and filled with thugs and drugs and annoying folk. Especially Vancouver, My HOME. I would like to relocate in Portland some day in the future.

Go Blazers, and then to the book store. Portland in a nutshell. Beatifull women as well.

Portland is the largest city in Oregon and is located in the
northwestern part of the state, directly across the Columbia River from Washington.

Portland is known for its liberal politics, its many parks, independent music, independent businesses and its proximity to the Columbia River Gorge, the Cascades (Mt. Hood in particular), and the Pacific coast. Its nicknames include the City of Roses, Bridgetown, Stumptown and PDX (after the city's airport).

The city is divided into "quadrants" (there are actually 5 sections) north and south by Burnside St. and east and west by the Willamette River. North Portland is located norht of downtown, but east of the river which curves westward at that point.

Some well-known musicians from Portland include the Dandy Warhols, the Decemberists, Lifesavas, Sleater-Kinney, the Mooney Suzuki, Elliott Smith, the Shins, Stars of Track and Field, and Pink Martini. Famous authors from Portland include Chuck Palhniuk, Beverly Cleary, Ursula K. Leguin and Katherine Dunne.
